The Twentieth Century.
“When I remember the extraordinary movement of the world during the nineteenth century, and think of the mighty forces, both physical and moral, which are only now coming into play, I feel that to be still young at the beginning of the twentieth century, with all the marvels it must surely unfold, would be almost the greatest blessing and the highest privilege. To be twenty years of ego in 1901, with the prospects of seeing 1950, if one lives the alloted span of three score years and ten, is to be heir to an inheritance better and greater than the richest millionaire can leave behind him.” —Mr Hall Caine.
